If you could burn more belly fat while sleeping in a bed it would make getting and staying lean significantly easier. As human beings, we spend about a third of our entire lives sleeping and even though it might sound too good to be true it's actually very possible to burn significantly more fat at rest than you're burning right now, That's why in today's video, I'm going to give you 8 proven ways that you can speed up fat burning while asleep.
First, although it won't be a huge increase one of the easiest ways to bump up your metabolism and burn more calories while sleeping is to have a Casein shake 30 minutes before bed.(1) Not only do studies show that casein is absorbed perfectly fine while you sleep but digesting it positively affects your resting metabolic rate throughout the night and even into the next morning (2).
Since Casein has a slow digestion rate it provides a continuous release of amino acids into your bloodstream while you sleep. This can help maintain muscle protein synthesis throughout the night as well, which prevents muscle breakdown and assists with muscle recovery. Another big benefit of, having casein before bed is that it can help you feel full for longer. This can help reduce nighttime snacking or overeating before going to sleep. As a trainer, it's very common to hear that many people struggle with late-night cravings and often mindlessly eat hundreds upon hundreds of calories right before bed. Having a filling casein shake or an alternative casein source like cottage cheese, or Greek yogurt, can effectively reduce appetite at night and can lower overall calorie intake. Taking casein before bed consistently over time has also been proven to benefit muscle strength and muscle growth. (3)
And that's actually one of the best ways to burn more belly and body fat while sleeping... by building more muscle. Muscle tissue is metabolically active and significantly more metabolically active than fat: This is because it requires energy to maintain itself. It also requires energy to carry out essential functions like repairing broken-down muscle fibers, supporting posture, and producing movement. This constant energy expenditure contributes to a higher resting metabolic rate, which means anytime that you're at rest regardless of whether you sleeping or relaxing on a couch you'll be burning more calories per minute, per hour, and per day, than you would if you had less muscle on your body. While fat tissue does of course cost some calories to maintain, it's less metabolically active compared to muscle. The other benefit of muscle tissue is that it's able to absorb and store glycogen which is the broken down and stored version of carbohydrates. Every time you lift heavy weights you'll deplete a lot of the stored glycogen in your liver and muscle tissue, allowing you to refill those glycogen stores again, without them spilling over into fat storage.
That actually brings us to the next thing you can do to burn more calories while sleeping lift heavy weights or perform other high-intensity workouts. This is due to something known as the Afterburn Effect, which is often used as a gimmicky term in fitness marketing campaigns to sell magic fat-burning pills, at-home exercise equipment, and training programs. But the afterburn effect is actually a real science-based phenomenon. The exact mechanism that supports a faster metabolism after high-intensity exercise is known as Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen consumption or in short Epoc. Essentially epoc leads to an increased amount of calories continuing to be burnt even after being done training. Your body will continue to burn calories at an elevated rate after a weightlifting session because it needs to repair and recover muscle tissue, replenish energy stores, and remove waste products.
This increased post-exercise calorie burn, can last anywhere from a few hours up to 2 whole days after performing your last set. How long it lasts for you depends on things like the intensity and duration of your weight training session. Higher intensities create a longer-lasting afterburn. It also depends on your fitness level, if you're well-conditioned epoc will actually be shorter-lived than if you're out of shape because your body will be able to bounce back faster. Lastly, compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses typically create a greater afterburn than isolation movements like bicep curls and tricep extensions. As an added benefit resistance training in general can improve insulin sensitivity, which helps your body better manage blood sugar levels, and can positively...
